General notes:

Meeting has been very well attended with new faces. Possibly working to add some new members? Excited by the upcoming 22 year celebration. Pats picking up 8 pizzas. Speaker jam will just be a line up to the podium 3 to 5 minutes each. We rotated some positions around - new chairs (Henry and Brain), new Lit. Chair (Evan), new Secretary (Gabe), and Booker (Laura).  We spoke about maybe adding some new positions - that have not really existed in the past - but could be fun, and someone could make them into their own and benefit the group!  Some possibilities: adding a CPCI position (Taylor by way of Luke?)/ Outreach, an Events Chair, a Bridging the Gap committee (talk to Brian)? 

Working on getting some custom stickers made and are we interested in possibly doing some merch? Or maybe flyers for CPCI? New Business in January - making these notes available online for everyone to see.
